The biographical sketches which appear
in the Congressional Directory are chiefly
interesting from the fact that they are
contributed by the subjects. Each sena-
tor and representative supplies the inior-
nation which he considers most interest
ing and important in his career. 1t mp
pears from the prooishccts of the dircc-
tory for the Fiiteth Congress that Senators
| lliscock and Reagan allow the biographies
| which served Tor them in the House 90 be
transferred TO the new edition. Senator
Daniel, however has materially changed
his. In his sketch rs n representative he
! had incorporated some details of his serv-
ice in the Conicdency, giving the names
Of commands in which hc served. This is
all stricken ont in the senatorial sketch,
and the simple statement is made that he
was in the Confederate army to the end Of
! the war.
